WASHINGTON, D.C. – November 27, 2018 – Today, VoloCity, a community-driven adult social sports company, announced its acquisition of Bitches Who Brunch, a leading brunch resource for city-dwellers. The acquisition expands Volo City into a content and media company providing more opportunities to serve its community of active, engaged young professionals in its eight major metropolitan markets. Conversely, this provides Bitches Who Brunch access to Volo City’s extended network and entry into new markets.

The acquisition will propel Bitches Who Brunch into five additional cities in 2019, including Boston, Baltimore, and Miami in the first quarter. With this growth, the staff will double.

“The partnership with Volo City was a natural progression of expanding and promoting a balanced and active lifestyle to our avid readers while offering them additional ways to socialize,” said Cori Sue Morris, co-founder and CEO of Bitches Who Brunch and head of brand and content at Volo City. “In a time of screens, both Volo City and Bitches Who Brunch encourage young adults to put down their devices and gather on a sports field or around a table.”

Most immediately, brunch-goers will experience a new website and champagne-flute review system, and an interactive map and calendar integration to discover nearby brunch hot spots —plus an evolution of the ever-popular Brunch Finder tool. Staying true to its female-entrepreneurship roots, Bitches Who Brunch will launch a female empowerment brunch series and yoga-and-brunch programming in January 2019.

“Our partnership with Bitches Who Brunch helps social-conscious millennials brunch with purpose,” said Giovanni Marcantoni CEO and founder of Volo City. “So much discussion with friends and family happens around mealtime — Volo City can now drive those discussions by helping city-dwelling millennials plan their social calendars — from brunch to sports and even volunteer opportunities by coaching youth sports leagues.”

Both companies are millennial founded and driven by serving their peers who care about a healthy and social lifestyle with a purpose. When young professionals sign up for Volo City leagues and events, a portion of the fee goes directly to the Volo City Kids Foundation, allowing local children to participate in high-quality, youth sports leagues at no cost. In 2019, Volo City will launch a mobile application including information on local leagues, volunteer opportunities, events, and brunch spots—providing a one-stop shop for millennials to find activities, sports, brunch, and events across 12 major markets, in one spot.

The acquisition was made in November and more information about Volo City and Bitches Who Brunch can be found at volocity.org and bitcheswhobrunch.com. You can follow the Bitches on Instagram @bitcheswhobrunch and Twitter @BtchesWhoBrunch.
